Harold Stevens
A worried person sees a problem, a concerned person solves it.
Jodi Picoult
It was one thing to make a mistake; it was another thing to keep making it. I knew what happened when you let yourself get close to someone, when you started to believe they liked or loved you: you'd be disappointed. Depend on someone, and you might as well admit you're going to be crushed-because when you really needed them, they wouldn't be there. Either that, or you'd confide in them and you add to their problems. All you ever really had was yourself.
Niccolo Machiavelli
The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present.
Reinhold Neibuhr
Democracy is finding proximate solutions to insoluble problems.
Bernard Williams
There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.
